How do I become a Cat dealer mechanic?

Yes! Having hands-on experience with Caterpillar equipment will give you a big advantage. That’s because you already know the basic mechanical systems, tools and technology to get the ground running. Plus, there are pathways to advance your career — depending on your skill level and your dealer’s needs.

Cat dealerships will review your existing certifications as part of your job application process. When hired, you can undergo additional training to help you obtain Caterpillar certifications.

Not necessarily, but there are educational opportunities to help further your career. Work toward your associate degree through ThinkBIG, a two-year program. You’ll rotate between classroom work and a hands-on, paid internship at the program’s associated Cat dealer. Learn more about ThinkBIG.

Why should I become a Caterpillar dealer technician?

We want to invest in your future. The Cat dealer network is the largest, most experienced network in the world, with training and educational opportunities to help you advance. You’ll be part of a reputable, ever-growing company and contribute to meaningful work on a global scale.

As an experienced technician, Cat equipment will challenge your skills in the best way possible. Cat parts are designed specifically for Cat equipment, so you’ll have an opportunity to work with sophisticated machinery, continuously learn and take pride in working on some of the most respected equipment in the industry.

What can I expect in terms of compensation and job details?

In addition to a competitive salary, you can expect a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, retirement contributions and paid time off. Salary will vary by location.

No day is the same for a service technician. You might repair an engine on a wheel loader or diagnose electrical system issues on a dozer. What does remain the same are daily safety protocols and meeting with your team — practices that make sure your workplace is productive and safe.

The Cat dealer network is the largest, most experienced dealer network in the world. With over 160 independent Cat dealers, there are plenty of opportunities to find a job near you.
